Six reasons a commercial buyer shortlists Permas 31
A completed building in a settled township — everything you are buying already exists and can be seen in person.
Freehold commercial title
BRDB states freehold on both its project pages. On commercial property that matters more than on residential: a shortening lease on a shop office narrows your buyer pool and your financing options at exactly the moment you want to exit.
Four floors, one title, one loan
From 7,614 sq ft of built-up across four storeys. You can trade from the ground floor and let the upper three, or occupy the whole building as a company HQ — the same purchase serves both, which is unusual at this size.
Ground floors with front and rear access
BRDB specifically publishes front and rear exposure for the ground-floor units, behind a modern glass shopfront. Rear access is what makes a unit workable for F&B, a clinic or anything that takes deliveries.
An established commercial centre
The block sits in the Permas Jaya commercial core among banks and F&B outlets. Your footfall comes from residents who already live there, not from phases that have yet to be built and sold.
Completed and ready to use
No waiting for construction. You view the building, the tenancy and the title, and you can trade or collect rent from day one.
Only thirty-one units exist
A small, exclusive block. Supply is tight by design, which supports the value of every unit in the row.
What thirty-one four-storey shop offices actually give you
Thirty-one freehold units, four storeys each, from 7,614 sq ft, with ground floors open front and rear. Here is how each level is typically used.

Subsale and tenancy — how to read what you are shown
The developer has no stock left. Every Permas 31 unit that changes hands from here is a subsale between private owners, and that changes the entire shape of the transaction.
Asking prices and recorded transactions
Prices at Permas 31 are set by individual owners. I keep the latest asking figures and the recorded transactions separate, so you can see the market clearly before you decide.
What I will send you, on request, is two separate things kept separate: the current asking prices and asking rents on units actually available, clearly labelled as asking; and the last recorded transactions for shop offices in Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, which come from the Valuation and Property Services Department data rather than from any listing site. Ask for both, and treat the gap between them as the negotiation.
A tenanted unit is two purchases in one
If a unit is sold with a tenant in place, you are buying the building and the contract. Read the tenancy before you read the price. The things that decide whether the quoted yield survives completion are: the unexpired term and any option to renew; the rent-free or fit-out period already given; the deposit held and who transfers it; the rent review mechanism; who pays quit rent, assessment, insurance and the service charge; the reinstatement obligation at the end; and whether the tenancy is stamped and therefore enforceable.
Send me the unit you like and I will work the net rental figure with you, after quit rent, assessment, insurance and service charge.
Six things I check for you on a commercial subsale
| Check | What to ask for | Why it matters here |
|---|---|---|
| Title | A fresh title search: individual or strata title, land-use category commercial, express conditions, and any caveat or charge | Confirms the freehold tenure, title type and allowed trades for your plans. |
| Tenancy | The stamped tenancy agreement, deposit receipts, rent ledger and the schedule of any fit-out contributions | Confirms the rental income you are buying. |
| Tax on the deal | Stamp duty on the transfer at the standard scale, and your tax agent’s view on service tax | GST was replaced by SST in 2018. Since the 2025 SST expansion, service tax applies to commercial rental above the registration threshold. |
| Financing margin | An indicative offer before you sign, not after | Commercial property is normally financed at 70 to 80% rather than 90%, so an early indicative loan approval keeps your plan on track. |
| Tenant mix | Walk the row and note what trades from each unit, and how many shopfronts are dark | In a 31-unit block the neighbours are your co-anchor. Banks and F&B, which BRDB cites here, support footfall. |
| Parking | The bays on the approved plan, and what actually happens at lunchtime | Convenient parking supports ground-floor F&B and retail. I will confirm the bay allocation for your unit. |
One more, for investors rather than occupiers: model your exit before you buy. Real property gains tax applies on disposal and the rate depends on how long you hold and whether you buy as an individual or a company — your solicitor will confirm the current rates.

Where Permas 31 sits in Permas Jaya
Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, 81750 Johor Bahru — a mature township on the eastern side of the city, across the Tebrau River from Taman Sentosa and downtown Johor Bahru, with the Eastern Dispersal Link on its doorstep.
This pin is BRDB’s own. The developer’s Permas 31 page at permasjayabrdb.com carries a Google Maps embed dropped on 1°29′49.7″N 103°48′47.7″E — that is 1.4971476, 103.8132348 — and BRDB’s other project pages carry different pins (Permas Avenue 1.499306, 103.813, Permas Mall Block C 1.4975583, 103.8180831), so this is a per-project marker and not one company address repeated. The pin marks the row’s position in the commercial centre; I will confirm the exact unit when you view. The kilometre figures below were computed from the township-centre coordinate 1.498417, 103.819444, about 700 m north-east of this pin.

What the catchment is made of
Permas Jaya is a residential township first and a commercial centre second, and that is the right way round for a shop office. The Permas Jaya Bridge links it to Kampung Baru Bakar Batu, Taman Sentosa and downtown Johor Bahru, and a second bridge was built to relieve the congestion on the first — which tells you how much traffic the township generates by itself. The Eastern Dispersal Link, open since 1 April 2012, puts the CIQ within a short drive without going through the city centre.
The retail history is worth knowing before you underwrite a rent. Permas Point, the original complex, closed in 1999; AEON is now the anchor mall and Permas Mall was developed later. Today the township has a mature, established retail scene. Buses run from JB Sentral on the T21 and S&S 2 routes, so a proportion of your staff and customers arrive without a car.
Why buy Permas 31 Shop Office? Key benefits for investors and homeowners
Permas 31 Shop Office is a completed, fully sold row of 31 freehold four-storey shop offices by BRDB in Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru, from 7,614 sq ft built-up, about 6.9 km straight-line from the Johor–Singapore CIQ. Here is what makes it stand out — whether you are buying to rent out or to live in.
Freehold commercial title
BRDB states prime freehold land on both project pages — no lease decay at exit, and a wider pool of future buyers and financiers.
In an established commercial centre
The row sits in the Permas Jaya commercial core among banks and F&B, with AEON Mall Permas Jaya about 1.4 km away and a mature residential catchment around it.
Only 31 units — tight supply
A small, fully sold block by the township’s own master developer, which is still active in Permas Jaya with The Straits View projects.
Four floors, one title, one loan
From 7,614 sq ft across four storeys: trade from the ground floor and let the upper three, or house your whole company in one building.
Ground floor open front and rear
Glass shopfronts with front and rear exposure suit F&B, clinics and any business that takes deliveries.
Near the EDL and the CIQ
About 2 km to the Eastern Dispersal Link and the Pasir Gudang and Tebrau highways, around 6.9 km to the CIQ, with buses from JB Sentral.
About BRDB and Permas Jaya Sdn Bhd
Permas 31 was developed by Permas Jaya Sdn Bhd (14161-T), the Johor arm of BRDB Developments Sdn Bhd (5521-A). BRDB operates from Level 11, Menara BRDB, 285 Jalan Maarof, Bukit Bandaraya, 59000 Kuala Lumpur, and develops residential and commercial property in Malaysia, Australia, the United Kingdom and Pakistan.
The point that matters for a buyer here is that Permas Jaya Sdn Bhd is not a visiting developer. It is the company that built the township this shop office sits in — the roads, the housing precincts and the commercial centre are all its work, and it continues to develop in the same place with The Straits View Duo and The Straits View Garden. When the master developer is still active in a township, someone still has an interest in how that township ages.
Elsewhere the group is known in Kuala Lumpur for its Bangsar work, including 111 Menerung, and for the Tamansari township at Rawang — a developer with a long record across residential and commercial property.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still buy Permas 31 from the developer?
No. The Permas Jaya (BRDB) project page lists Permas 31 as Fully Sold and BRDB’s own portfolio page lists it as Completed. All 31 units were taken up, so every purchase from here is a subsale from an existing owner.
WhatsApp me and I will send the units currently on the market at Permas 31 and in the rows around it.
Is Permas 31 freehold?
Yes. Both BRDB project pages state freehold, and the brdb.com.my description calls it prime freehold land.
Your solicitor will confirm the tenure and title type on the title search as part of the purchase.
How big is a Permas 31 unit?
Built-up starts from 7,614 sq ft across four storeys.
WhatsApp me for the land area and floor-by-floor split of the unit you like — I get them from the title and the approved plans.
What does a Permas 31 shop office cost?
WhatsApp me for the current asking prices and asking rents on units available now.
I will also send the recorded shop-office transactions in Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, so you can compare before you decide.
When was Permas 31 completed?
The Permas Jaya developer site gives an estimated completion in year 2024, and BRDB’s portfolio page lists the project as Completed. The project material itself was published in 2021.
WhatsApp me and I will get the certificate of completion and compliance date for the unit you are interested in.
Where exactly is Permas 31?
In the Bandar Baru Permas Jaya commercial centre in Johor Bahru, among banks and F&B outlets, roughly 6.9 km in a straight line from the Johor–Singapore CIQ and about 1.4 km from AEON Mall Permas Jaya.
Both developer pages give #G-33 Blok A, Permas Mall, No 3, Jalan Permas Utara, 81750 Johor Bahru. That is BRDB’s office; I will confirm the exact unit lot when you view.
How much can I borrow on a shop office?
Malaysian banks normally finance commercial property at a lower margin than residential — commonly 70 to 80% rather than 90% — often over a shorter tenure, and the assessment leans on the rental income and on your business accounts as well as your salary.
Get an indicative offer before you sign anything. I can introduce banks that regularly finance shop offices in Johor Bahru.
Do I pay GST or SST when I buy?
GST no longer exists in Malaysia — it was replaced by SST in 2018. What you pay on the transfer is stamp duty on the standard ad valorem scale, plus legal and disbursement costs.
Service tax is a separate question on the rental side: since the 2025 expansion of SST, commercial rental and leasing is a taxable service once the landlord crosses the registration threshold. If you are underwriting a tenanted unit, ask your tax agent how that affects the rent you are relying on.
Should I buy a tenanted unit or an empty one?
A tenanted unit gives you income from completion, but you inherit the contract exactly as written — the unexpired term, the renewal option, the rent review, the deposit, the reinstatement clause and whoever is responsible for quit rent, assessment and insurance. Read the stamped tenancy before you read the price.
An empty unit gives you control over the trade and the fit-out, and a void period you have to fund. Tell me your plan and I will help you compare both options.
Looking for a shop office in Permas Jaya?
Tell me whether you are buying to trade from, to let, or to house your own company, and how many floors you actually need. I will send what is genuinely on the market at Permas 31 and in the rows around it, with the asking figures labelled as asking and the recorded transactions kept separate.
